Whinny City Con, anyone? · 4:23am Mar 12th, 2018
Hey everyone!
Just out of curiosity, anyone know of anyone going to Whinny City con next month and looking for an extra roomie? I'd prefer an all female group but I'm good with co-ed too. Just curious :) I'd really like to go, but swinging the plane ride plus a room for myself is a bit much this month.
Thanks everyone!

Very cool! Whinny City is a good con; I went in 2016 and I'm planning to go again this year. (Would've gone last year too but had a family emergency.) I'm not looking for a roommate, though I'm sure there are people out there who are. If worse comes to worse I have a couple names of folks who have attended who might know people.
Best of luck!

If you or any of the people you know might know of any other female people going looking for a roomie, that would especially be helpful :) But only if you're sure they wouldn't mind being contacted ^^ Still trying to work things out with getting off of work so I'm not 100% sure I can go yet, but besides work the room is the last big thing I need to work out.

No probs, I'll drop Vivid and Sunny a line. Can't make any promises, but we'll see!
Actually I just found out that the con hotel is booked up, so I'll be looking at nearby ones...

No worries, and thanks so much for checking for me, I appreciate it a lot Wow booked up? Good luck with the search! I was checking the other day it looks like there are definitely a few other places around there to stay :)

Sunny didn't know of anyone. Haven't heard from Vivid yet, but we'll see.
So the Hyatt Regency is down to just King rooms, but the Hyatt Place (which is a 5-minute walk away, literally just across the parking lot) still has a variety of stuff. Their normal rates seem to be lower than the con rate at the Regency anyway. If a roommate thing doesn't materialize, they might be good to check out!

Thanks so much, I'll check out the Hyatt place :) And thanks so much again for asking your friends--that was incredibly nice of you and I appreciate it a lot ^_^ Even if I can't make it I hope you have a great time!
Just curious, did you find something? My one buddy has been busy but just got back to me and offered to tweet out the word if you were still looking.

Hey! No, the roommate thing didn't pan out in time for me to get a cheaper flight, so I decided not to go. Thanks so much for checking though, I appreciate it :) And tell your friend thanks for offering to help!

Ah, bummer. Perhaps I'll have to do a con report or something.

Eh, it's okay--I'm already saving up for Bronycon and possibly Trotcon lol. I hope you're having fun in Chicago! ^_^ From the pics I've seen so far from people it looks like a great time!
